A Hydrogen-Alpha PST is on the right with the Calium K PST on the left. The PSTs are purposely offset mounted using a Losmandy 4" dovetail adapter. The offset mounting allows the HA PST's tuning ring to clear the CaK's blue ring (which is wider than the brass tube). This setup allows me to switch from the 4" refractor to solar viewing in less then 5 minutes with no tools. The reason I said it was partially configured is the white light solar filter is not mounted on the front of the SCT. Also the right angled view finder would be replaced with the Coronado Solarmax40 using the Stellarvue dovetail mount. That allows me to image with the Solarmax40 while sneaking a view with the PST.

Lottery numbers must have come good in the end! What did you do with your nice AR6? Very nice setup though! I'm envious but I eventually got my 6"Achro(TS152 f8) and a Meade LXD75 SN8 to keep me happy over the summer months. Lets just hope this crud weather in the UK shifts soon!
